Barefoot Country Music Fest to Stay on Wildwood Beach Until 2030

 The Barefoot Country Music Fest will remain a Wildwood summer staple through 2030, thanks to a new agreement between the city and event producers. Wildwood’s Board of Commissioners emphasized the festival’s positive impact on the local economy and its appeal as a signature event for the area. With the extended agreement, the Barefoot Country Music Fest is poised to continue bringing unforgettable performances and vibrant energy to the Wildwood community. The festival has become a must-attend event, often selling out well in advance. Fans eager to secure their spot can purchase tickets now to ensure they don't miss out on one of the summer’s biggest highlights. Scheduled for June 19-22, 2025, the festival will feature headliners like Jelly Roll, Jason Aldean, and Rascal Flatts, alongside 40+ acts, including Boys II Men.

Brief Snow Bursts Expected Friday; Major Storm Looms Early Next Week

A winter storm early next week may bring snow to parts of New Jersey, particularly South Jersey. Friday evening’s commute could also see brief snow bursts, with minor accumulations and reduced visibility in Central Jersey. A major winter storm is set to cross the country Sunday into Monday. Sunday is expected to remain dry for New Jersey, but snow could develop on Monday, primarily affecting South Jersey. Areas closer to the Delmarva Peninsula are likely to see heavier snowfall totals. Residents, especially in Central and South Jersey, should monitor weather updates as forecasts evolve over the coming days. Following the storm, colder-than-usual weather will linger, though extreme cold will impact the Midwest and Southeast more severely.

Drones to Inspect Power Lines in Ocean County This Thursday

 Atlantic City Electric will use drones to inspect power lines between West Creek and Marybell Road in Ocean County on Thursday. Conducted by Zietview, the inspections aim to ensure power line reliability and safety. The legitimate use of drones in utility maintenance highlights the growing adoption of technology for safer and more efficient monitoring of high-voltage lines. This approach minimizes risks to workers while providing detailed assessments of infrastructure conditions. Residents are advised not to be alarmed by the drones, which are part of scheduled maintenance activities.
